Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez says Argentina players don't want Lionel Messi to retire.

PSG ace Messi is set to play in his final World Cup.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has started the season well at PSG, and Martinez is excited by the prospect of playing alongside him in Qatar.

Martinez has hinted that the team are not ready to let Messi leave the international stage, but will do all they can to ensure he bows out with a World Cup to his name.

When asked about the prospect of Messi ending his Argentina career after Qatar, Martinez responded: "Is he crazy? We are not going to leave him! It's going to be very special, he's preparing very well, I see him happy, he's enjoys his football.

"We're going to go to war for him."
